A CHRISTMAS POEM

The Night Before Christmas
By Robert B. Thieme, Jr.
‘Twas the night before Christmas,
   and all through the world
A message was preached,
   a challenge was hurled:
Believe on the Son
   and thou shall be saved!
The road to heaven with His blood
   was paved.
Out of the darkness of sin
   and despair
God’s salvation – the fairest of fair-
Was born in a manger;
                             no room in the inn.
    God in the flesh,
         He died for our sin.
     The angels sang;
        the shepherds rejoiced,
     Messiah has come!
         The message was voiced
     By joyous believers both far and near;
     Christmas has come!
     Immanuel is here!
